It all depends on your style of play.
the G3 is a deadly weapon if you know how to use it. Drawback is 20round clip
the FS2000 is a good rifle its got some decent stopping power and flashbangs
MG36 mg is a nice gun if you play support but the PKM is better choice
P90 unless you play Anti Tank its ok it is actually better since the last patch but still a weak gun
MP7 is a average gun. It will gave you more range then the Jackhammer but expect to use half a clip to drop someone
L-96 is a very nice sniper rifle many people feel its the best sniper rifle in the game. Its got a great sound to it also

this site has a lot of great info on the game

This is a good start on weapon damage and accuracy: http://wiki.bf2s.com/weapons/comparison

I hardly ever play assault so G3/F2000 are last picks for me. Of those you listed I have the MG36, P90 and L96A1. My opinions.

L96A1 - Same accuracy as the M24 but really sweet sound effect. The M-95 is more useful since it can take down a helo and will kill anyone in two shots anywhere even with body armor but I have grown to like the L96A1 a lot recently. I snipe more than anything so it was a good choice for me. Really handy if you don't play USMC and want acccurate long-range sniping as China, MEC.

MG36 - Less damage than the PKM but smooth firing just like the rest of the G36 family. However it's only 100 rounds.

P90 - Really brutal at CQC. The high rate of fire seems to be a lot more than what is listed on the website. You can easily unload 15-20 bullets in a blink of an eye. Only 2 spare clips though. The laser scope is nice but don't expect much long-range kills since it's not very accurate.

My favorite overall is probably the Medic G36E. Very low recoil and very accurate at medium range. I still like the AK-101 when playing MEC at short range but the G36E I use as much as I can as USMC.

You need the PKM and the L96.

PKM - It cant hit anything but its powerful? Lots of people say this but thats bullcrap, fire with a single click of the mouse, dont hold it down and you will negate the recoil effect and kill people from miles away.

L96 - meh... beats the normal medics gun, pretty accurate, very nice zoom. This gun combined with the medics ability to heal yourself helps rack in the points.

the G36E gun is deadly.

Medics can get the G36E, not the L96, that's a sniper unlock.

EDIT: You're probably referring to the L85, I didn't think of that at first.

g3 and l96

G3 sucks imo, has bullet drop and isnt as accurate nor powerful as its cracked up to be.

I find the G3 to be excellent even at long ranges. Works great as a counter-sniper.

You've probably already made your picks, but I'll throw my 2 cents in. You need the l96 if you do any sniping at all. It is powerful, accurate and much more quiet. The other sniper guns sound like cannons in comparison. Which is bad, because you are a sniper, and giving away your location is not good.

The MG36 is not very high priority, because the PKM dominates it.

Not sure why you list the G3 and the F2000, I believe you need to have the G3 before you can get the F2000. Or perhaps Visa Versa. The G36e medic gun is an awesome addition though.

The P90 is a good pick if you AT at all, because a lot of the AT guns lack range. Even though the P90 is extremely weak, it gives you the range that you will want in many scenarios.

The MP-7 isn't bad, but I found it to be pretty useless for the engineering class. First off, the engineer shotguns are pretty damn good. But in most cases when you are playing engineer you will be in a vehicle which means you will only be outside that vehicle to repair and drop anyone who gets dangerously close to you while repairing, which the shotguns are plenty good enough for.

Wow PKM dominates mg36? I seriously challenge that. Go check out my *very* long indepth review on www.totalbf2.com including footage and screenshots of the 2. The pkm is more accurate if you fire 1 round at a time, then again so is the sniper rifle. If you want a true support gun grab the MG36, I don't play with anything else and I regularly score in the top 4 on my side (64man server).

The mg36 allows you to fire extremely accurate, fast supressive fire. Most people think the pkm is better because it has a slow rate of fire meaning it stays accurate longer in terms of seconds, plus it does more damage per round. This is flawed for 3 reasons:
1) It fires much slower than the mg36 which allows the mg36 to do almost 50% more damage in the same time frame.

2) They both have the exact same deviation per shot meaning they have the same accuracy. The reason the mg36 appears less accurate is because it fires much faster, meaning the deviation per shot is noticed sooner. However, shot per shot the 2 guns have the exact same accuracy.

3) The mg36 heats up MUCH slower than the pkm. The mg36 can fire off almost an entire clip without stopping before it overheats. Since support should fire in bursts (and the mg36 has burst mode so you can spam click and still get burst accuracy) the mg36 will never lock up, but the pkm will firing burst after burst rapidly


Anyways choose what you want but the mg36 is the pro support gun of choice while most new support players prefer the pkm because they try to fire it like a sniper rifle.

Ok that's a complete tangent. The only point of my post is that even if there is some minute reason to get the MG36, it is an additional unlock over the PKM that is not necessary. It adds very little versatility. So the MG36 doesn't overheat as fast, so it has a burst mode, but at the end of the day, whether you have a PKM or an MG36 you can still go prone and gun a whole ton of people down. And that is the only real purpose of the gun.

And no, a lot of "new" people don't like the PKM, it is the old people who like it. The ones who were using it before Special Forces and then saw it get a massive boost in one of the patches to an almost godlike accuracy. It's been nerfed since then, but if you learned how to snipe properly with the crosshair on the PKM back then, then you probably still have a really good idea where to aim with it now.

What the l96a1 adds to the sniper class is much more than what the MG36 adds to the support class.

Possibly, for me it turned the support class into a whole different class. I like the l96 and it is better than the m95 I guess, but since the latest patches made the m95 so freakin accurate I don't notice a huge diff other than the thinner crosshairs which I don't find to be a problem.

I used the pkm to great effect before SF and didn't buy SF until march. I picked up a mg36 off a dead body and I almost had a heart attack. It was so quiet and so fast. I noticed I could spray people down without giving away my position to the whole map. The pkm is so loud I usually use nades to kill pkmers because I can hear them easily around buildings. Once I got SF and started using the mg36 I noticed how many people choose it over the pkm. I love the sound the pkm makes because it sounds like a real bada$$ when firing but it also puts a huge neon sign over your head.

It's taster's choice to a point, if you don't like a gun you will never be good with it. I don't like the g36e and I am probably the only person that plays bf2 that has a negative k-d ratio with it because I just don't like it. I also like the g3 alot better than the f2000 because it is SO much more accurate at long ranges. Of course, you never use full auto on the G3, you have to use single shot and most people do not like that.

Anyways, if I remember I'll link my review when I get home since totalbf2 forums are blocked at work. For the rest of you it was entitled "mg36 vs pkm my opinion" I believe, a search should pull it up.

The l96a1 has a faster refire rate and is a much more quiet weapon. Both of those on top of the better crosshair and accuracy.

The G3 is better than the F2000 but only because they nerfed the freaking hell out of the F2000. It used to be the most used weapon on servers. Now the damn things barely accurate.

Oh and the G36e is an insane weapon. You can actually snipe with it.

Out of those 6 the L-96 easily.

True about the L96 on the other hand I find it really iriitating when I'm trying to snipe people out of AA turrets and they turn so the turret blocks them. Or the people that drive up in hummers and the L96 can't shoot through the metal gun cover. Also I find alot of the time as sniper I get behind enemy lines then snipe at them from behind because it keeps me out of their sniper's scopes. The problem is that shooting a prone enemy from behind in the head does not give a headshot because the crappy hit boxes for your feet are so big. With the m95 however, it penetrates the feet and gives a 1-shot kill. Also there's nothing like taking out the recently ghettofied Blackhawk with a sniper rifle, you just have to catch it while it's on fire. To each his own.

People only used to use the F2000 for the GL grenade....me included! That thing was so freakin cheap. It's still a great weapon for maps like karkand, plus flash bangs are really nice on urban maps.

Yeah the g36e is the best weapon in the game considering the kit. Irritating as crap to shoot a "sniper" on the roof with your sniper rifle over and over only to discover it's a medic that has all their packs out to heal themselves.
